🐫 UAE: This OPEC group, I’m not kneeling anymore

🇦🇪💥🇸🇦

The most significant “exit from the group” event in 60 years,
And yet oil prices—

📉 Remain calm, as if nothing happened.

Market internal thoughts:
“You leave, I sleep my own way.”

🧵 Let’s briefly analyze the logic:

1. OPEC has long ceased to be the sole decision-maker
Who still cares about your face—U.S. shale oil, Brazil, Guyana…?
2. UAE wants to go solo and sell more oil
Not because they don’t want cooperation, but because they think quotas are too small. Exiting isn’t burning bridges; it’s maximum pressure for bargaining.
3. Oil prices staying steady—that’s the real humor
20 years ago, this would be nuclear-level news.
Today—in the market’s words: Who are you?

🤣 Joking aside, there’s a real trend behind this
👉 Middle Eastern pricing power → shifting to the Americas
👉 OPEC+ changing from “giving orders” to “following the market”

UAE isn’t the first to want to leave,
and it won’t be the last.

In the future, don’t call it the “Oil Kingdom,”
call it “Oil Pinduoduo”—
whoever offers the lowest price ships, whoever leaves the group goes solo ✈️
